Application February 23, 1954, Serial No. 411,639

3 Claims. (Cl. 132-79) The present invention relates to improvements in cosmetic receptacles such as lipsticks or the like; more specifically, the invention relates to a new and improved cover for a lipstick or the like, and the main object of the present invention is the provision of a cover of the character described which not only covers a lipstick or the like but also holds a roll of tissue paper or of any other material suitable for wiping any excess of a cosmetic oif a persons face, hands, or the like, so that it no longer will be necessary to use a handkerchief or a sheet of tissue paper separately carried in a bag or pocket for thus wiping otf unwanted cosmetics.

Another object of the present invention is the provision of a cover of the character described which'is so constructed and arranged as to greatly facilitate the inserting of a roll of tissue paper into the cover and to simplify the use of the tissue paper, portions of which can easily be torn off the roll of tissue paper irrespective of whether the cover is open or closed by a cap member.

A further object of the present invention is the provision of a cover of the character described which consists of a pair of telescopically arranged hollow portions, so that it more perfectly covers a lipstick or the like and better protects the same and its moving parts against the possibility of being bent or deformed when falling to the ground, or when subjected to pressure by other articles, than is the case with hitherto known covers, and which is so dimensioned that it fits conveniently into a persons hand and can be found in a handbag or the like more easily than a lipstick which has only an ordinary single-wall cover.

Yet still another object of the present invention is the provision of a cover of the character described which is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, sturdy, durable, of a pleasing outer appearance, and well adapted for the purpose for which it is intended.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangements of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

In the accompanying drawing a preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawing:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a preferred embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. l; and,

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawing the numeral 1 denotes a double-walled barrel member of thin metal, or plastic material or the like, which has a first cylindrical portion 2 that is closed at its top and open at its bottom and constructed and arranged for receiving a cosmetic receptacle 3, such as a lipstick, as is indicated in dash-and-dotted lines. A second cylindrical portion 4, which is larger in diameter than the portion 2, encompasses the portion 2, and has its lower end connected to the open bottom section of the portion 2 by means of a preferably annular flange portion 5. A cap member 7 preferably is removably provided at the open upper end of the portion 4. A longitudinal slot 10 is extended lengthwise over the portion 4, and a roll of tissue paper 11 or the like is interposed between the portions 2 and 4. The roll of tissue paper 11 preferably is rotatable on the portion 2 either directly or on a sleeve member 12, and its outer end portion extends through the slot 10. Thus the user can pull out of the slot 10 a desired length of tissue paper 11 and tear it oif before using the same. When a roll of tissue paper 11 has been consumed, another roll can be inserted easily and quickly after opening the cap member 7.

Since certain changes may be made in the above article, and different embodiments of the invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which as a matter of language might be said to fall therebetween.

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A tissue holding cosmetic receptacle cover comprising a first cylindrical portion being closed at its top and open at its bottom and constructed and arranged for having a cosmetic receptacle inserted thereinto, a second cylindrical portion encompassing said first cylindrical portion and having a longitudinal slot, a flange portion joining the lower end of said first cylindrical portion to the lower end of said second cylindrical portion, a cap member covering the upper end of said second cylindrical portion, and a longitudinal strip of tissue paper rotatably interposed between said first and said second cylindrical member and having one of its end portions extended through said slot in said second cylindrical portion.

2. A device of the character described comprising a first longitudinal hollow portion being closed at its top and open at its bottom and constructed and arranged for receiving a cosmetic receptacle extended thereinto through its open bottom, a second longitudinal hollow portion having a longitudinal slot and encompassing said first longitudinal hollow portion, a flange portion outwardly extending from the bottom of said first hollow portion and connecting the same to the lower end of said second hollow portion, a cap member covering the upper end of said second hollow portion, and a longitudinal strip of tissue paper rotatably interposed between said first and said second hollow portion and having one of its ends extended through the slot in said second hollow portion.

3. A tissue holding receptacle cover comprising a double-walled member having an inner cylindrical wall portion and'an outer cylindrical wall portion circumferentially in spaced relation to each other, said inner cylindrical wall portion being closed at its top and open at its a sasee bottom, said outer cylindrical Wall portion having an open top section protruding beyond the closed top section of said inner Wall portion and having a longitudinal slot extending from its upper to its lower end, and a flange portion radially extending from the open lower end of said inner cylindrical Wall portion and closing the space between said wall portions at the lower ends thereof and joining said wall portions to each other; a roll of tissue paper rotatably inserted between said cylindrical walliportions being l'ongei'thansaid 'iiinfe'r cylindrical portion and ha ing one or its ends eiteiidedtlii'oilgh the slot in said 4 outer cylindrical .portion, and a cap member removably attached to the upper open end of said outer cylindrical portion.
